Excessive Or Binge Drinking: A Danger For Teenagers

Liquor stores, pubs, and alcoholic beverage businesses make drinking appear appealing and enjoyable. It is quite easy for a person to get caught up in a social scene with lots of peer pressure. Inevitably, one of the largest areas of peer pressure, particularly with teenagers, is drinking.

Many people, particularly our young people, do not typically consider the detrimental side of drinking. Eventhough they take into account the consequences of heavy drinking, not a lot of attention is given to the chance of being hung-over or vomitting. Some people do not know that excessive alcohol consumption may cause loss of concentration, memory lapses, mood changes, and other matters that could impact their day-to-day life. Even with all the governmental health warnings, there is still a substantial portion of the population that would disregard the more serious and longer-lasting risks of alchohol abuse.

When it comes to excessive drinking, the phrase "binge alcohol consumption" comes to mind. To most people, binge drinking brings to mind self-destruction and unbridled drinking bout lasting for at least a couple of days during which time the profoundly intoxicated drinker drops out by not working, ignoring responsibilities, wasting money, and engaging in other hazardous behaviors such as fighting or high-risk sex.

Binge drinking impairs judgment, so hard drinkers are more likely to take risks they might not have when they're cold sober. They might drink and drive, which then boosts the risk of being involved in automobile crashes. Driving a vehicle isn't the sole motor skill-set that's impaired, though. Walking is also more difficult when intoxicated. In 2000, around one third of pedestrians 16 and older that were killed in traffic crashes were intoxicated. People who are intoxicated also take various other chances they might not normally take when they're not drunk. People who have impaired judgment may have unsafe sex, putting them at greater risk of a sexually transmitted disease (STD) or unwanted pregnancy.

Studies also show that people who binge-drink throughout high school are more likely to become overweight and obese and have high blood pressure by the time they are 24. Only one standard beer contains about 150 calories, which amounts to a good deal of calories if someone consumes four or five beers a night. Some research studies have suggested that people who binge-drink like those who have three or more episodes of binge drinking in 2 weeks possess several of the indicators of alcoholism.

Drinking too much can be the result of social pressures, and in some cases it helps to know there are others who have gone through the same thing. A supportive friend or grownup could help one to steer clear of high pressure situations, stop drinking, or find guidance.

When it comes to heavy drinking, the expression "binge drinking" comes to mind. To most folks, binge drinking brings to mind self-destruction and an unbridled drinking bout lasting for at least a couple of days during which time the highly intoxicated drinker drops out by not going to work, neglecting obligations, squandering hard earned cash, and engaging in other damaging actions such as fighting or high-risk sex. Binge drinking is not just hazardous to the drinker, but to the people around him or her.

Binge drinking undermines judgment, so drinkers are more likely to take chances they might not take when they're sober. Some studies have shown that people who binge-drink like those who have three or more incidents of binge drinking in 2 weeks have some of the signs of alcohol dependence.
